Ninth Master Chang didn't speak, and I breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that it might scold me.
"I'll stay for dinner, you worked hard."
Hearing Ninth Master Chang say that, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it should probably leave after dinner, judging by this situation.
Once the soup was ready, I served it a big bowl full of both meat and broth, then gave myself a small bowl of soup to drink. The yak meat was delicious, especially because it was so fresh...
I drank it with such delight.
"Why don't you eat the meat?"
Upon hearing Ninth Master Chang's words, I looked at the meat in the pot and shook my head. If this were any other time, eating it would mean a beating. That old man had a peculiar temper, domineering and unreasonable. Later on, I figured out a pattern: as long as I made myself look pitiable, he would mostly refrain from hitting me.
